The encounter began on Wednesday with Davis leading 5-4 but was suspended due to rain. When play resumed today Radwanska broke her opponent to level at 5-5, taking her third break point with a fine forehand.
Both players held to force a tiebreak but this time it was the American who prevailed to clinch the first set.

Davis serving was impeccable at the start and stayed dominant throughout the match. It took a few games for Konjuh to find her groove, and with it her devastating forehand, but Davis' strong serving and powerful game kept the 19-year-old Croat under constant pressure.

After trading breaks in the opening set, Davis broke once more and clocked another perfect service game to take the opening set. For her part, Konjuh's game was plagued with miscues and double faults coming at all the wrong times; two of her five double faults handed Davis breaks points, while a third gifted her opponent match point.
